The Olympics are just games, so at the end of the day, if you're an athlete, hopefully you do what you want to do no matter what, from winning a medal to having a good time and not winning anything at all. It's not about what other people want you to do, since they are not there. What makes people happy and doing what they love isn't being lost, being lost is not having found something you love to be doing.
The Olympics are games, and people sometimes turn them into something beyond human. Life is not a comic book.

Get the Olympics mug.It's one thing for people that don't know the athletes to not go to the Olympics, but it really is a little bit fucked up to not allow the families of athletes in the buildings, which seems a lot like not letting the family of someone with the coronavirus in the hospital to visit. That doesn't seem like the way to treat people, and why should anybody that does treat people that way be trusted?
People want to be there for their family members to cheer them on even during hard times, and times that aren't fairweather days. The Olympics is no different than any other sports event in that sense, even if the scale is thought to be grander.

Some of these younger folks seem quicker to change the guard than people from earlier in their generation or generations before. Michael Phelps had longetivity to his Olympic runs. Being unselfish isn't a bad thing, a lot of these folks will be together as a team for years to come, but just like vets can learn from the rookies, where would the Olympics be without the vets?
Vets do more than just usher in the new during the Olympics, so hopefully appreciation for them isn't lost for something newer that seems more momentarily exciting.

The Olympics is not an election or a political rally, so what does politics have to do with any of it?

Get the Olympics mug.Thank god they are over, people watching/playing sports will now have about 2 weeks of no major sporting events/competitions, and they will get to actually enjoy summer for being summer. For the people watching/playing the NBA Finals past mid July with the Olympics starting the same week, it really was getting silly. The NBA Finals ended over a month before that just a few years ago, and they never needed to go further than mid June. It was nice to have a full summer of no major sporting events/finals/playoffs, just casual regular season baseball games.
It didn't help the Olympics that they came right after the NBA Finals. People like to get a little summer in to enjoy it without thinking about what sporting event/competition is next, since that starts to get silly at a certain point. Not everybody wants a summer filled with competition after competition, it gets dull and silly at the same time.
